-SS brake lines installed
-front and rear pads changed
-brake system flushed
-Front lower inner bushings changed

I would also like to change my tranny and diff fluid out that day, but it's not on the top of my list since I can knock that out myself easily. The other stuff...not so much because I have never done it before.

I honestly don't know how long it will take to do all of these things but I am willing to buy some pizza and provide beer if I could get some people to help me knock these out. That's of course Jason wouldn't mind us staying a little late?
Im sure there will be plenty of folk still around at that time. PM'ing you about the bolded items above..

yeah i do expect that people will be staying till after then.....

if anything pm me with your contact info, cause who knows exactly how long, etc this day will turn out.

either way, If we can get two guys doing the jacking/rotor removal, etc, then i myself can be doing the lower bushing swap for you while you guys do the other stuff.....of course ill quarterback the process so we get it done....

with help, i dont see any of that taking to long really..

I actually checked the mail and went through the circulars...........

I got the Little Caesar's and Pizza Hut coupons for party pack pizza offers, etc...

If anyone has more of those coupons they can please bring them so we can make two big orders under two names and pick up a bunch of pizza's for lunch......

once again, everyone bring some small bill cash (1's, 5's & maybe a 10) to pitch in for lunch.



Depending on how it goes for this First Tech day im thinking maybe the next one we can coordinate a dedicated set of people that willl man the grill............and next time well do BBQ and everyone can pitch in for that........

I didn't wanna complicate or do too much this first time around Cause i wanted to FOCUS ON FIXING CARS MAN!

So figured pizza would be easiest....and fast!

There is a Little Ceasars and a Pizza Hut less than a mile from my house..........along with a bunch of other places as well if anyone doesnt want pizza. (subway, chik-fil-A, McD's, Quizno's, Chilli's, Jack in the box, Sonic)

Guys, please respect our host for this event.

Please provide him with the necessary info as requested. After all, this is a private home and he should be as cautious as possible for multiple reasons.

Let Jason know well in advance who is coming, what they're doing, personal info, etc. Everyone MUST RSVP!
